Document Summary
Not an actual physical location, but a feeling. Being surrounded by family and people you care about. Home as a real physical place that tv existed in/was built for. Home as an ideology (or organizing idea) Set of ideas/beliefs that structure your sense of world; organized system of thoughts that naturalize through repetition and affirmation. Ie. boys like blue or girls need to be saved. American history and how and to what end we tell stories about americanness. We looked critically at how historical narratives are constructed, probing them for weakness and false assumptions. We learned to ask whose interest a given narrative served, and what tools different historians has used to come their conclusions (lee). Race and gender and how ideas about both circulate in pop culture. We take for granted in this class that racism is systematic. We will not argue about whether racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, and/or transphobia are real in this course.
